therefore completely normal for there to be traces of cof-
fee in the mill. The machine is, however, guaranteed to be
new.

of coffee or 4-5 cappuccinos before the appliance starts to
give satisfactory results.
• When making the first 5-6 cappuccinos, it is normal to hear
the noise of boiling water. After this, the noise becomes
less.
• To improve the performance of your appliance, we recom-
mend installing a water softener filter (C4) as described
in section “18. Water softener filter”. If your model is not
provided with a filter, you can request one from De’Longhi
Customer Services.

9.3 Adjusting the coffee millThe coffee mill is set by default to prepare coffee correctly and
should not require regulating initially.
However, if after making the first few coffees you find that the
coffee is either too weak and not creamy enough or delivery is
too slow (a drop at a time), this can be corrected by adjusting
the grinding adjustment dial (A5 - fig. 10).
Please note! The grinding adjustment dial must only be turned when the
coffee mill is in operation.
If the coffee is delivered too slowly or
not at all, turn one click clockwise to-
wards “7”.
For fuller bodied creamier coffee, turn
one click anticlockwise towards “1” (do
not turn more than one click at a time
otherwise the coffee could be delivered a drop at a time).
These adjustments will only be evident after at least 2 cups of
coffee have been delivered. If this adjustment does not obtain
the desired result, turn the dial another click.
9.4 Tips for a hotter coffeeFor hotter coffee, you should:
• perform a rinse cycle by selecting the “Rinse” function in
the settings menu (see section “8.1 Rinsing ”);
• warm the cups with hot water using the hot water function
(see section “11. Delivering hot water”);
• increase the coffee temperature in the settings menu (see
section “8.10 Coffee temperature ”).
9.5 Making coffee using coffee beans
Important! Do not use caramelised or candied coffee beans as they could
stick to the coffee mill and make it unusable.
1. Fill the container (A3) (fig. 11) with coffee beans;
2. Place a cup under the coffee spouts (A8);
3. Lower the spouts as near as possible to the cup (fig. 12).
This makes a creamier coffee;
4. Then select your required coffee:
- ESPRESSO (B14)
- COFFEE (B15)
- LONG (B16)
- DOPPIO+ (B17);
6. Preparation begins. An image of the selected beverage
appears on the display (B1) together with a progress bar
which gradually fills as preparation progresses.
Please note: • You can prepare 2 cups of ESPRESSO coffee at the same
time by pressing “2X “ (the image is displayed for
a few seconds whenever you start preparing 1 ESPRESSO)
or selecting “2X ESPRESSO” from the beverage selection
menu (B3);

23. ELECTRICAL CONNECTION (UK ONLY)Before using this appliance ensure that the voltage indicated on the product corresponds with the main voltage in your home, if you
are in any doubt about your supply contact your local electricity company.
The flexible mains lead is supplied connected to a B.S. 1363 fused plug having a fuse of 13 amp capacity.
Should this plug not fit the socket outlets in your home, it should be cut off and replaced with a suitable plug, following the procedure
outlined below.
Note: Such a plug cannot be used for any other appliance and should therefore be properly disposed of and not left where children
might find it and plug it into a supply socket - with the obvious consequent danger.
Please note: We recommend the use of good quality plugs and wall sockets that can be switched off when the machine is not in use.
IMPORTANT: The wires in the mains lead fitted to this appliance are coloured in accordance with the following code:
GREEN AND YELLOW EARTH
BLUE NEUTRAL
BROWN LIVE
As the colours of the wires in the mains lead of this appliance may not correspond with the coloured markings identifying the terminals
in your plug, proceed as follows:
- The wire which is coloured green and yellow must be connected to the terminal in the plug which is marked with the letter E or
by the earth symbol or coloured green or green and yellow.
- The wire which is coloured blue must be connected to the terminal which is marked with the letter N or coloured black.
- The wire which is coloured brown must be connected to the terminal which is marked with the letter L or coloured red.
When wiring the plug, ensure that all strands of wire are securely retained in each terminal. Do not forget to tighten the mains lead
clamp on the plug. If your electricity supply point has only two pin socket outlets, or if you are in doubt, consult a qualified electrician.
Should the mains lead ever require replacement, it is essential that this operation be carried out by a qualified electrician and should
only be replaced with a flexible cord of the same size.
After replacement of a fuse in the plug, the fuse cover must be refitted. If the fuse cover is lost, the plug must not be used until a
replacement cover is obtained. The colour of the correct replacement fuse cover is that of the coloured insert in the base of the fuse
recess or elsewhere on the plug. Always state this colour when ordering a replacement fuse cover.
Only 13amp replacement fuses which are asta approved to B.S. 1362 should be fitted.
This appliance conforms to the Norms EN 55014 regarding the suppression of radio interference.
Warning - this appliance must be earthed
